Portfolio overview
Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has been granted 139 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics at rank #2,777 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 101 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06T (IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Government, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.9/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 136 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window — a +4433% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign Government classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics's 8.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
